Self-defense specialist Guro Jayson Pena knows that, in the real world, there are no rules to fighting. That's why he has spent the last three decades studying Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do as well as Filipino martial arts—styles that help protect practitioners both in the ring and during real-world encounters. Knowing that fights take place both standing up and on the ground, he trains his students elements of muay thai and grappling.

Finding just the right gym is never an exact science. One size does not fit all, and people have very different criteria for the most important aspects of that perfect fit. Fortunately, health-conscious Austin is home to a multitude of fitness centers with almost as many different personalities as the city. And besides the typical features one might expect – workout equipment, classes, personal trainers, locker rooms – some of them offer a few surprising amenities.
Mecca Gym & Spa downtown combines a small but fully equipped fitness gyms with a wonderfully relaxing spa, offering everything from massage therapy to facials and nail treatments. But besides the spa, high-end weightlifting machines and strong variety of classes, Mecca also has a great café that not only serves healthy snacks and smoothies, but even offers a selection of wine and beer! Now there’s no excuse to skip past the gym on the way out to a drink with friends or co-workers.
Life Time Fitness also receives consistently high ranks among in-the-know Austinites. Like Mecca, the fitness center combines the usual aspects of a gym with an on-site spa and café, offering a three-in-one destination for members. But perhaps best of all, Life Time also offers a “whole life” approach to fitness and health, including comprehensive weight loss programs and free childcare, as well as a host of activities for tykes. Of course, the usual selection of basketball, squash, racquetball and swimming are also available.
Pure Austin, with locations downtown and out near Quarry Lake, bills itself as much more than a typical gym. Besides the standards that make for a top-notch gym – the best equipment, personal trainers and classes – Pure Austin is a real, vibrant community. The owners call it an “indoor gym for outdoor people” who want to create a lifestyle, not just come work out. There are groups for cycling, kayaking, rock climbing (at the Quarry location), yoga and kickboxing, each working as a team to motivate its individuals. And although there are Stairmasters, free weights and classes available inside, a large portion of what makes Pure Austin great happens beyond the gym’s walls, as teams push and train and strengthen each other as a community. That’s not something you’ll find at most normal workout centers, and is part of what makes Austin so unique.

As one of the most yoga-centric cities in the country, some say Austin has more instructors per capita than anywhere else in the United States – and plenty of quirky studios to go along with them. In keeping with Austin’s reputation for love of the unorthodox, the city’s yoga scene offers some more unusual ways to get fit through the ancient Indian practice. Check out these top picks for places to hone your yoga skills in a very unique way.
You don’t even have to be standing on the ground to do yoga in Austin. Using silk hammocks mounted to the ceiling, aerial yoga allows participants to be suspended in the air while moving through poses of hatha, vinyasa or fusion yoga, while completely and safely supported. Four Elements Yoga and Fitness on Congress Avenue in downtown Austin offers two urban-loft style studios in a rejuvenating space filled with natural light to enjoy while you find your inner peace – all while dangling from the ceiling.
The sport of stand up paddleboarding (known as SUP) is the fastest-growing water sport in Austin – the city is now home to the largest stand up paddleboard maker in the world, SUP ATX. But many Austinites take it a step further; as if balancing on the board isn’t enough, you can practice yoga while paddleboarding! This form of yoga offers two challenges: first, becoming proficient on the board, and then beginning to move into yoga poses. Some of the popular SUP yoga classes in Austin are offered by Paddle Zen and Say Om Paddle Yoga, and Namaste SUP can help you find others in the SUP yoga community.
Despite its name, slackline yoga is not for slackers. Using a loose tightrope, the practitioner learns to walk and balance, before getting into slow yoga movements and positions. Slacklining was developed by climbers in Yosemite Valley in the 1970s. Doing yoga on a slackline requires a whole different set of muscles and training. The best way to get involved is through Keep Austin Slacklining, a Facebook group that connects slackliners in the city.
AcroYoga combines circus acrobatics, yoga, and healing arts, with partners getting into yoga poses together using high levels of balance and teamwork. As one can imagine, it’s a very playful form, and a great way for two people to build trust while working together. Jenny Sauer-Klein and Jason Nemer started one school of AcroYoga in California after they began practicing therapeutic “flying” sequences together, while AcroYoga Montreal offers a slightly different style of AcroYoga started by Eugene Poku and Jessie Goldberg. In Austin, practitioners and teachers of both styles abound, especially at Austin AcroYoga, who offers classes and is a vital part of the larger Texas AcroYoga community.
